A gift or a present is the transfer of something without the expectation of receiving something in return. Although gift-giving might involve an expectation of reciprocity, a gift is meant to be free. In many human societies, the act of mutually exchanging money, goods, etc. may contribute to social cohesion. Economists have elaborated the economics of gift-giving into the notion of a gift economy. By extension the term gift can refer to anything that makes the other happier or less sad, especially as a favor, including forgiveness and kindness.

Presentation

Traditional envelope containing money as a gift, from Japan

When material objects are given as gifts, in many cultures they are traditionally packaged in some manner. For example, in Western culture, gifts are often wrapped in wrapping paper and accompanied by a gift note which may note the occasion, the recipient's name, and the giver's name. In Chinese culture, red wrapping connotes luck.

How much are you taxed on money gifts?
Q. How much are you taxed on when you recieve money gifts (5 to 6 figures)? Is there a $ limit you can recieve as a gift? What if the gift giver is from oversea's..is it up to his own tax laws? Is there any other specifications when recieiving money gifts from another country?
Asked by questionable - Thu Sep 13 10:23:53 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Gifts of money are never taxable to the person who receives them, no matter if it's 1 penny to all the money in the world. There is a form to fill out though for gifts received from a foreign person. I've attached the form & instructions (Form 3520) for you. If the giver if a US citizen they can give $12,000 per year per person as a gift without any tax consequences. Above that amount they have to file a gift tax return, but have a $1,000,000 lifetime exclusion they can draw against for the excess.

How to say no gifts when responding to a Christmas dinner invitation?
Q. We are invited to friends this Christmas Eve and I would like to say that we will not be bringing individuals gifts just one for the family. What would be the proper way of saying this? I don't want to get there and find out that they have presents for all of us.
Asked by krumenager - Wed Dec 3 09:12:01 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There really shouldn't be any expectations of presents. If you buy them only one gift, but they bought you individual gifts, thank them for their generosity, but you are not under any obligation to reciprocate.

  • The gift, to be true, must be the flowing of the giver unto me, correspondent to my flowing unto him.
  • The only gift is a portion of thyself. ... Therefore the poet brings his poem; the shepherd, his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a gem; the sailor, coral and shells; the painter, his picture; the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing."
  • A gift—its kind, its value and appearance; the silence or the pomp that attends it; the style in which it reaches you—may decide the dignity or vulgarity of the giver.
  • God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious; as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, "It comes from a hand we love," and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.
  • There is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
